TOTALED 92 BIRD

Some crazy old lady decided to plow her mercedes SUV into the side of my 1992 firebird. She ran a red light and hit me doing 50. I dont have enough money to fix it so i have to junk it or sell it as parts. Let me know if your interested. lol

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

Anything else i should pull out of it? I just bought a new dash from a J yard in Kentucky. its an original one from another 92 bird with NO cracks or anything... Hopefully the crash didnt screw it.

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

My 87 iroc was totaled by a drunk driver who hit it infront of my house at like 3 am. I bought this one with the payoff and put money into just about everything on it. All i need was the b&m hammer shifter and a 87 wheel to swap with the airbag one and it wouldve been complete:'(

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

Do you have the two vents on the top left and right of the dash?

EDIT:

The driver side window motor, both headlight motors if they work and also this piece if its in good shape. I cant really see it too well, but it appears to be loose..

I would buy that hood off you just to hang in my garage if I was close enough for pickup. Love that logo on white paint. Really stands out well.

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

I am glad to hear you are semi okay, The hip is a rough spot to hurt and depending on your age it can take a while to heal, hope you are doing better soon.

If you do part it out let me know what you want for the steering wheel, feel better Brother

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

The vents on the dash are there and okay. same with the speaker covers in the dash and the ones in the back. (no speakers in back atm) The spot you photoshoped is just missing a bolt. Headlight motors both work so does the driver window motor. tailights are fine. Everything worked on this car but the power mirrors. The right door and passenger seat and console are screwed. Everything else is good. PM what you want if you need any of it. all GFX are fine besides the what you see in the picture. Left side of car is immaculate still. Engine is there and fine. Turns over and idles. Tranny is basically inside the car now. steering wheel still has air bag but the top of it has been cracked a little from the sun.

Re: TOTALED 92 BIRD

I am almost 100% sure that when I am finished or almost finished with my bird that some old lady is going to be the cause of it being totalled. Hell, its almost happened dozens of times in the time I've owned it already.

Sorry to see this.

Thank you!

She's a work in progress, and right now I am getting pretty excited as I am going to be doing a motor swap in a month or so. I've had some people ask me if I'de sell it before, and I am going to hang on to this one, I love it!

Make sure you get yourself back in a third-gen. You won't feel right until you do.
